my wife left matrimonial home on 4.8.09 for rakhi festival, but she did not return back. i applied for RCR under sec.9 HMA on 14.10.09, she had received notice on 09.11.09, i have certified copy of notice received by her, but she did not attended court, thus i got ex-party decree on 16.12.09 to attend her matrimonial home within 1 month. but she didn't turn on. then on 17.02.10 i applied for divorce under sec.13 HMA claiming desertion and cruelty. she received notice on 01.05.10 and implicated me and my parents under 498a, 34 CrPC & 3/4 DPA on 6.5.10. later she applied for maintenance under sec.24 HMA & sec.125 CrPC. now as 1 year for sec.9 decree has lapsed, it fulfils condition for divorce under sec.13(1-A)(ii) HMA also. Maintenance has been decided under sec.24, HMA. I want to know about next step to get divorce
